Let's cut to the chase about this 6x60 Nicaraguan beast from Rocky Patel's little brother Nish. Priced at $230.58 for 21 cigars ($11 per stick), this box-pressed gordo comes loaded with Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro skin and a nicotine punch that'll make your eyebrows sweat. Perfect for when you want to marinate in smoke for 90+ minutes.
That initial punch? Black pepper and espresso grounds with a chocolate undertone. The box-press shape gives surprising draw control - no canoeing here. Watch the dense ash stack like Jenga blocks.
Leather and charred hickory emerge through the smoke bomb. Retrohale kicks with roasted nutmeg. Start feeling the nicotine buzz around this point - beginners might want to sit down.
Earthy tones dominate with cedar spice pokes. Sweetness shifts from molasses to burnt caramel. About 1.5" left, the tar buildup says "we're done here" - typical of maduro-wrapped fatties.
This stick isn't fucking around. The dual Mexican binders and aged Nicaraguan filler create a smoke density that coats your palate like motor oil. While the flavor profile doesn't reinvent the wheel, the construction quality (that flawless ash!) justifies the price for box buyers. Just keep a soda handy - that 60-ring gauge amplifies the nic hit.
